About Wynonna

11/24/13: She has been a country music stalwart known for songs like "I Saw the Light," "No One Else on Earth," "To Be Loved by You," and "What The World Needs." She is a trail blazer, a risk taker and has never fit inside a box of societal norms and assumptions that a country star needs a certain look and personality to succeed.

Though she hasn't released a new album since 2009, Wynonna is still packing fans into arenas, theaters and honkey tonks across the globe. And she has had new music released sporadically, including 2011's "Love It Out Loud," and one new song in 2013 – a single she released in March called "Something You Can't Live Without." It was touted as the first cut off a forthcoming full-length album, produced by her drummer/husband Cactus Moser. Though that project was originally set for release at some point this year, a date has yet to be announced.

Currently gearing up for her holiday tour, "A Simpler Noise," Wynonna will kick things off December 3 in Bakersfield, California. The tour will include inspirational holiday classics along with some of Wynonna's greatest hits. Dates will run through December 22, with the last show scheduled for York, Pennsylvania.

Wynonna recently unveiled her new shoe collection, which is called "Got Soul," at the MAGIC Fashion and Apparel Trade Show in Las Vegas in August. The line includes bedazzled sneakers, wedges and flats. The shoes are currently available at Fred Segal and in boutiques across the country.

About Wynonna tickets

Country singer and songwriter Wynonna Judd, who has gained the iconic status to become known simply as Wynonna, is a true American rags-to-riches story. After a very poverty-stricken childhood, she has risen to the pinnacle of country music stardom, building an impressively loyal fan base worldwide that rushes to buy her albums and attends her concerts in droves. Born Christina Claire Ciminella in 1964 in Ashland, Kentucky, Wynonna's mother, Naomi, was still in high school, and though she married to try to make a traditional family unit, it didn't last and she raised her daughter as a single mom most her years. Both mother and daughter were blessed with stellar singing voices, and after receiving a guitar for a gift she learned to play and sing close harmonies with her mother. Soon, Naomi and Wynonna Judd moved out of their bare-bones Kentucky mountain home, where listening to country music on the radio had been their sole entertainment, to Nashville to pursue a musical career as The Judds. The rest is history as The Judds soared to the top of country music fame in the 1980s, charting 23 hit singles and eight studio albums and winning five Grammy Awards. Naomi Judd retired from music in 1991 after announcing she has chronic hepatitis C, prompting Wynonna to go solo, and she has broadened her sound since, recording a dozen albums on her own, including the compilation album Love Heals, released in 2010, as her fan base has remained loyal and steadfast.
